Cops Receiving “Conflicting” Information

It may be a while before Bucs fans find out exactly what happened when Bucs receiver Mike Williams was stabbed in the thigh in his own home this afternoon. Initially, it was believed Williams was stabbed by his brother.

But after interviewing witnesses and trying to reach Williams’ brother, who remains on the run from authorities, it seems there is not a clear picture of what happened in Williams’ posh Avila home, per Woody Cummings of the Tampa Tribune.

Deputies were called to Williams’ home in the gated Avila community at about 5 p.m. Sunday in response to what they were told was a stabbing, Hillsborough County spokesperson Cristal Bermuda Nunez said.

When deputies arrived at his home, they learned Williams had been stabbed in the thigh, but interviews with several witnesses conflicted.

Joe is going to reserve judgement until all the details are known. If, indeed, Williams was stabbed by his brother at home, it’s hard to give Williams too much grief. What, is he supposed to live with priests in a rectory? The dude was at home. The best way to avoid trouble is at home.

Williams, as of this typing, remains in St. Joseph Hospital in Tampa recovering from his wounds.

Just a few weeks ago Licht was on with the Big Dog talking about how he hadn’t seen Mike’s name in any headlines lately so that was good. I’d be willing to bet Licht and Lovie won’t have the same reservations about giving Williams too much grief.

A headache? Him getting stabbed and throwing parties is a headache? Talib was a headache. Tanard Jackson was a headache. Has Williams been suspended? Arrested? Caught blazing it up or drinking and driving? He more than makes up for his party stuff by making amazing and clutch catches on Sunday.

Walkdaplank, where are all these amazing and clutch catches you speak of? He’s the the 4th best 2 WR in our division. When you are trying to rebuild a 4-12 football team then the jackass that can’t stay out of the news is a headache.

I take it you haven’t watched the Bucs offense the past few years. From his first TD catch, to catching a pass off Stanford Routt’s helmet and running it to the endzone, to making a toe-touch back of the endzone catch against the Vikes, to making a spectacular late game tying TD catch in the Giants game, to making a clutch would-be GW TD catch against the Saints that got called back because of a dumb rule. The list goes on brother. Receivers like that don’t grow on trees. And get “can’t stay out of the news” garbage outta here. It’s not like he is your everyday 8 ‘o clock story on Good Day Tampa Bay.

Again, never arrested, suspended, gun-toting, caught blazing it up or drinking and driving.

He’s had two decent years and does make the occasional great catch. However, has a tough time getting open and doesn’t scare anyone. If he is such a great talent than ask yourself why would a lousy Syracuse team kick him off the team and why is he likely to get cut by the Bucs. Again, he is not worth the pain in the ass. Move on to someone interested in winning ball games.

Maybe we will be able to get another pic for 2015? lol. Seriously though, i’m sure there is a team out there willing to take him on and take whatever empty reassurances he may give them that he will be a model citizen.
